Picture this: you're in an accident. You get treated. You take your medication. But you don't heal. The doctors try something else. Still no change. What's happening? Your infection is fighting back and winning. This is antimicrobial resistance, or AMR, and it's already affecting millions of people across the globe.
Where science has made strides, AMR is making infections harder to treat. Routine medical procedures and treatments such as surgery, caesarean sections among others, have become much riskier for those who develop resistance.
In Kenya, an estimated 30,000 people die each year after bacteria that cause their illness become resistant to treatment. Dr Sylvia Omulo has been studying antimicrobial resistance in communities to better understand what drives resistance and how it can better be stopped.
